Frank,

SuSE 8.0 uses the 4.2 driver with Xv support added
including a set of fixes I made. It is essentially
the same code as in cvs as I've merged it in there.

People have been playing video on Neomagic with 
great success.
 
Due to hw limitations you may have to specify the amount
of memory you want to allocate for Xv. This is especially
true for larger videos like DVDs.

Option "OverlayMem" 900000

in the "Device" section does it.

Is this what you are looking for?

Egbert.
